MT-09 Gen 2 vs Gen 4 / Should you upgrade?

[@hulayhussain6714]

the dream would be gen 2 looks with gen 4 specs and techs

[@Snotroggel453]

Lol i think the gen 4 looks light years ahead of the gen 2. Gen3 was just hideous but now they nailed it👍🏼

[@hulayhussain6714]

@Snotroggel453 for me personally in person gen 4 doesn't look better than gen 2, but it can be different for different people. But yes I totally agree with gen 3 looking hideous lol

[@Laurencjusz01]

Gen4 looks a lot better imho

[@LoraineMikkelson]

@@Snotroggel453 i find the new one not as nice looking as the three too many angles on it , it looks like some of the toyota rav 4s

[@stepestrella]

Gen 4 looks awesome with gen 2 headlight

[@stevereid1706]

I have a Gen 2. I guarantee that for all the Gen 4’s modes, you won’t bother with most of them. I’ve ridden bikes for 40yrs, and never needed any of the junk on the Gen 4. Gimmicks!

[@dimasiamese8473]

100%, I feel all these electronic gimmicks useless, and even the author didn't dive deep into them

[@ianpat6526]

Gen2 is absolutely better looks wise.. The features in the gen4 is okay but gen2 features are just about okay too.

[@KrypteiaXi]

go have your eyes checked

[@ChrisSauer-oe5ve]

Gen 4 is a great looking bike, I get so many compliments it’s not funny 😎

[@ianpat6526]

@@KrypteiaXi its my opinion tho. I dont care bout yours. Agree or not

[@VSRDWN]

Ordered one, it’ll be here first week of September. Can’t wait, super stoked.

[@bmonkey86]

Likewise😁

[@ChrisSauer-oe5ve]

They’re nice, just got mine last week 😊

[@Josh1776_PAW]

600 miles at 5k rpm or less was painful for break in. But after 7k its like a whole other bike! Loving mine!

[@TsukyomiNoMikoto]

Having the new mt09 is insane but having both two mt09 of different models is unbelievable

[@bmonkey86]

Excellent video. Love that you contrasted the two gens. Has come on in leaps & bounds. So glad have ordered new one. My first foray with yamaha!

[@INFAMAS]

Thank you, enjoy!!

[@karlosss1868]

Very helpful. Thank you!

[@ChrisSauer-oe5ve]

Just got mine last week & it’s an awesome loaded naked bike, especially for the money & options. Just waiting for aftermarket parts to come out 🎉

[@pmanning431]

I love my gen 2 2017

[@SSJCLIFF]

Gen 4 SP with the grey and fluro yellow colour scheme from the gen 2 would be awesome!

[@fentontaylor9021]

Great comparison. The new SP is a great bike, somewhat comfortable, only weighs 420lbs and handles great when you lean forward and get a little more weight on the front tire. Pretty affordable too. I just wish it had better wind protection. Its pretty brutal at 80 mph and up

[@HW-kf7hi]

Have standard 2024 MT-09 in Cyan. Wasn't sure if I liked the styling on the SP from before the launch but now I've seen it more I think it's awesome. Great looking bike. You are right, only SP can switch off rear abs, mine doesn't (you also get track mod/theme).

[@INFAMAS]

Yeah! I'll be going over all the SP feature in a video soon. There is quite a lot

[@Pseudo_Placebo]

i'm glad i bought the gen 2 as an SP back then. for me it's simply the best looking version and with ECU mapping, airbox mod and blipper i miss absolutely nothing compared to the gen4 I also have a little more power with just under 125 hp and 99 Newton meters, not to mention the significantly better sound but for me the angular headlight and the polished swingarm would be a reason not to buy the Gen 4. one day Yamaha will build another really nice mt-09 and then I'll go for it

[@dimasiamese8473]

+1

[@MT-9222]

Yamaha will never built an MT 09 that looks like the gen two, as the years go, they looks more ugly and it will keep glowing down in term of looks... im glad I have my 2020 SP model

[@hyprmetlfan123]

Both have a good look in their own way

[@soymartiinez]

1. the front

[@rossride]

Where did you get your mirrors from on the Gen 4?

[@laissiahmedlaissi1519]

Thank you Best video of comparing I've found on ytb Is the electronics and riding supports difference betwin the Gen 3 and Gen 4 worth it?

[@KaizersPOV]

you forget the brembo Brakes dude. anyways mt-09 is my dream bike this maybe the reason why YT suggested this video. Deym. Im still grinding for my own 09 maybe in 3 years time ill get one.

[@INFAMAS]

True! The Brembo master cylinder is a great improvement! And the Brembo calipers on the SP even more!

[@sural89]

you should make a video about the riding experience and some rollon between the two

[@evgenyfisher1009]

great video. thank you

[@tristanmariano6736]

Like the video. Where did you get and what brand is your stealth side mirrors?

[@thegamingshatt4758]

My first gent doesn't even have ABS or tcs 😅

[@markodorfy]

Decent improvements from a 2nd gen to the current not enough to have me upgrading from a 3rd gen SP but

[@stumo114]

What's the handling like between the two?

[@SivaxReddy]

GEN 2 loooks

[@tiernan4373]

Hey just curious what aftermarket bar did you get on your old gen 2? great vids btw

[@INFAMAS]

Thanks! It's a ProTaper Evo bar. Carmichael bend

[@MoneyMaker-j6y]

I want to buy a used gen 3, gen 4 is too expensive for me. Are there any critical differences between gen 3 and gen 4

[@David-c3r1f]

But the the new sp you think that is worth the difference from the basic models?? Great video

[@INFAMAS]

I made a video after this one explaining if the SP model is worth it. Check it out!

[@MPwuerfl]

ATGATT! You forgot to wear your gloves while filming! ;-) (otherwise good video, thanks!)

[@Harry-se2ek]

what are the mirrors on the 24 sp?

[@kevinturner6888]

How is the suspension? Is it fully adjustable? Can you set it where it has a very plush ride, like a Cadillac? Thanks

[@INFAMAS]

Fully adjustable

[@iiamNAMSKRAM]

are the stealth mirrors real or knockoffs? if knockoff what are they like?

[@INFAMAS]

Yeah they are knockoffs. Same thing. Can't see much but they look alright

[@CClososs]

Good vid man

[@TheLegionsKing]

how has the keyless been? im getting one when i can find it in my area but have never used keyless on a bike.

[@INFAMAS]

New video out in 5 hours where I mention the keyless and what I think about it!

[@c0ndu]

how come you didn't go for the mt10/mt10sp? pure curiosity

[@INFAMAS]

Better electronics and features in the 09SP, and I like the power delivery better

[@c0ndu]

Never drove the mt 10 but Im guessing it's too much? Already struggling not to lose my licence on the mt 09

[@INFAMAS]

@c0ndu Not necessarily too much. Just different delivery. You need to get the power out of the top end. Where as the 09 has all the power in the mid range

[@gmbmedia28]

X out all the features... Still the best looking MT-09 is the 2nd Gen

[@breazy662]

i feel like the 2023 mt09 sp rivals the gen 2 mt09

Ive got the base 2024 MT09, I've noticed as i key on the display will change between the basic "Yamaha" logo and the MT logo, have u noticed that on yours as well?

[@INFAMAS]

I have! I'm not sure what causes the difference. Let me know if you find out!

[@alanrobson7486]

What gopro mount is that on your helmet?

Custom 3D mount, mounted to an Insta360 vertical mount and AcePro

Do cops ever pull you over for having tail tidy/fender eliminators?

[@thegamingshatt4758]

​@DoomiePookie not sure if it's state specific but in qld you're technically legal if you put a reflector on it

[@ToeffBrudi]

I drive more with cruise controller then without

[@SirMountainpass]

My heavily modified 2020 SP (optimized weight, power, brakes, suspension, tyres, aestetics, aerodynamics) is ultra-fast on any serious mountainpass and gets many favourable comments at the petrolstations. If a gen 2, then the SP plus a number of mods - then you do no need to change for the gen4 SP. Newcomers however should start into the MT09-world with the gen4 SP.

[@INFAMAS]

Good notes! If you love your 2nd need and it's heavily modified. No need to change

[@stepestrella]

Gen 2 head is the best with Gen4 body

[@vinnyd8108]

Why is he wearing a helmet for the full comparison when he isn't riding ??

[@EmanuelHasani.93]

He has a microphone connected to the helmet.

[@jdm_medo9856]

You need to close the throtel wen you down shift on QS dont do down shift wen the throtel is open just up and down wen you close

[@INFAMAS]

Not if you have a Gen 3 quickshifter. It doesn't matter

[@JoeStanek-vu7rl]

​with the 09 torque there is never a reason to downshift while accelerating.

[@michaelfrock2473]

Such a good bike and one I am considering just wish it was better looking.
